Summary of the contracting process

West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust bought Dell laptops to support clinical, administrative and operational services. The portable computers provide secure access to Trust systems and digital applications, enabling staff to work across healthcare and corporate settings. The requirement represents aggregated annual capital expenditure on laptop purchases from the supplier, with associated information technology services. Delivery is connected with West Suffolk Hospital in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk. This is a goods procurement for organisations supplying business laptops and related IT equipment to an NHS environment. The named buyer is West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust, and the selected supplier is Dell Technologies. The equipment supports staff activity across a range of healthcare and corporate settings rather than a single specialist clinical function.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. Two active awards were made to Dell Technologies. The first was awarded on 2 September 2025 for £73,800, covering 2 September 2025 to 2 September 2026. The second was awarded on 1 April 2026 for £500,000, covering 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. The tender’s upper estimated value is £500,000. The tender submission deadline was 1 March 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The award basis and selection criteria are not described in the available procurement details. The opportunity was identified as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This procurement confirms substantial, recurring demand from West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust for portable computers used across clinical, administrative and operational services. A credible future competitor would need the capacity to supply laptops at NHS-wide operational scale, support secure access to organisational systems and digital applications, and serve users working across healthcare and corporate settings. The route to market is a framework call-off, so suppliers would need access to the relevant framework and the ability to compete under its terms. The previous award history shows that the Trust has used Dell Technologies for both a shorter purchase period and a larger annual capital requirement. Businesses focused on laptop supply, managed device provision or supporting IT services may find this buyer and requirement relevant when planning framework participation.
